A Growth Medium without Blood Cells for Free

Abstract

SUMMARY A modification of glucose cysteine blood agar (GCBA) is described for the cultivation of in which the blood is replaced by plasma and catalase. It has the advantage for colony counting of being clear, and is at least as good as GCBA for enumerating fastidious aged suspensions and aerosols. The liquid medium supports the growth of very small inocula.
